CONDEMNED: THE KILLER GRINDSET

Spooky season is here! Today, we're looking at the #1 requested game from that time I did a F.E.A.R. video. One of those games that never grabbed me when I first played it, Condemned was a bit better this time around. Forgive some of the more egregious close-ups in this one - it turns out that turning the FOV up does this. For some reason. (Lithjank)

As a story, Condemned is a bit weak. As a horror game? Well, going back into it after so long made me realize how influential this game may have been. Leave it to Monolith to come out with something that people seem to love that's also underappreciated.

This took a little longer than I expected because I've been attempting to improve my recording setup to sound less echo-ey, a problem that was a lot worse than I foresaw when getting some light flood damage remedied by replacing old, gross carpeting with flooring. And then finally making the switch over to Adobe Audition like some kind of "professional" instead of using Audacity for everything. I really wish Adobe's tools weren't so powerful.

Next up might be a bigger, longer video, depending on how the script pans out. We won't be shooting anyone in that one. In that game, guns are VERBOTEN.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload

Hell ya my monthly Civvie vid. I recently ran though most your old content binge watching it. Now all I can do is wait for your new stuff.

I still think John Carmack is a brilliant, even genius computer scientist, and as a programmer I admire what he's done. But my god he's such an asshole and genuinely braindead when it comes to art. Even his defense of his quote sucks. Bro stop talking and just program.

Medium Black Duke

Loved the video. I never played the game but it looks impressive for what it is.

Frostbiteme

Wonderful episode as always! Man, did Bioschock take influence from this game?

Erik Olsson (TerrorBlades)

This is extremely fascinating, but also my god this may be the absolute ugliest game to look at I've seen in a long time, even considering aesthetics. GodDAMN.

Valora Inverse

What a pleasant surprise, the first notification I get after getting power back from getting booty slammed by hurricane Helen is this. I know I have something to watch while I charge my phone and I hope internet comes back soon too because my spotty cell service is going to make this a task to watch.

Cecil Byrnside

Great video, haven't watched it yet tho I will literally mail you Randy's left foot in exchange for a Bulletstorm video <333

Brandon Robinson

I don't think I finished this, but my mistake was trying to play it like 7 years after it came out. Early 360 games felt kind of rough to play in 2012.

You're like the fourth person I've watched for years talk about Condemned now. Not in an obnoxious "oooh you can't do this it's already been done" way, more surprised how many different perspectives on Condemned I've seen, it's unexpected. You can tell a lot about someone from their opinion on the taser.

Great choice for Halloween. Condemned had some of the best melee combat and atmosphere in FPS genre. Monolith's final good game before they were sent to Warner Bros's Middle Earth mines.

Alptraum

one of your best videos ever. i find myself saying that a lot recently.

Michael Kalin

Loved this game, completed it 5 times back in the day, the fact that you played a jacked guy who crushed homeless supernatural influenced people because you had extreme bonedensity and not a scrawny guy, always appealled to me.

Tore Schweer

Sir, you promised pizza! This is in fact, a prison.. XD

Walt_Man

Spooky season starting today? What a treat! Nice stuff!
